I could make up a banner real quick, but it would be much better, if Abandonia had a contest, to create the sites official advertising banner, for members to use on their other websites.

Game forums generally allow a forum signature banner, 20px by 80px or somewhere in that general size. 15 or 20 kb. This can depend on the website alot and the popularity of the games themselves.

Simtropolis.com(all things Sim and Simcity) is a grand place to use sig banners. I have tested this with all sorts of subjects. Gamers like gamer sigs, music buffs, like music links and so on...

Abandonia could definitely use new blood and potential for more help at the the site.

Great idea

Good idea, let's see what we can do.
Any proposal?

[CrybKeeper]

A banner page could be added with a link to it, under the Site Navigation tab maybe. Also a banner for the Abandonia homepage could be designed, to link members directly to the banner page.

On the banner page you would have a list, of maybe 6 to 8 banners, with one, or two approved designs. Larger Flash for websites and social networks. smaller square and strip banners, without animation, for forum sigs and friends with smaller bandwidth.

Under each banner image, insert a table, containing the code for copy/pasting.

The design will need to include, Title: "Abandonia" and possibly a sub or headline: "Our Dreams Are In DOS", for example. Not a good example, but you get my meaning.

It's up to the admins, how much creative liscense, they wish to give to the community, for a contest.

EDIT: Winners could recieve a copy of a pre-decided game title, maybe a T-shirt, coffee mug, etc., just for incentive. I'll have to keep it a secret from my wife, but I could supply some funding through PayPal in the near future.

This can be done, but we need time, lot of time
We are working on the site step by step, it's not so easy to follow everything. Updates have the priority at the moment.

Indeed, funny thing is that there are old banners floating on the net, as you probably know this site has changed layout many times

That would be nice, but we are not ready for real prizes yet.
First we need to contact few people, but we are waiting an important answer from Studentis now (those that are paying for server).

Thank you, but don't feel obligated

(Won't tell her, don't worry )

I kinda like this idea a lot, I mean there are some signatures you can use on other forums but they wouldn't really suit being a website.

Little update, the page is under developement, it's a matter of "which banner is better than that" and those kind of things
